World Series Breakthrough for Couch



Tonia Couch became Great Britain's first individual female World Series
medallist as she scooped silver and bronze at the final leg of the 2013
FINA/Midea Diving World Series in Guadalajara, Mexico.



Having won her 10m Platform semi-final with a score of 325.30, the
24-year old improved to 336.20 to take bronze in the final.



The British champion was lying fourth ahead of the final round but saved
her best dive for last, receiving 9s and one 10 from the judges for her
Reverse 2 1/2 Somersaults with Tuck (305C) to score 72.90 and secure her
spot on the podium.



China's Si Yajie ultimately took gold on 400.75 while Mexico's Alejandra
Orozco won silver on 384.65.



Couch's silver medal came with partner Sarah Barrow as they medalled in
the 10m Synchro for the second consecutive World Series leg, having won
bronze in Guadalajara a week before.



Just as in the individual, the British pair - who won European gold last
season - improved a place with their final dive, scoring 75.84 for their
Back 2 1/2 Somersault 1 1/2 Twists Piked (5253B) to finish on 317.10.



China's Si and Liu Huixia won gold on 335.16 while Malaysia's Pandelela
Rinong Pamg and Leong Mun Yee settled for bronze on 311.46.
